Sam's Throne is a hard sandstone rock climbing area in the Boston Mountains of north central Arkansas, in the Ozark - St. Francis National Forest.[1][2] Among its attractions for serious rock climbers is the Chickenhead Wall formation.
The area is extensively described in the guide Arkansas Rock Volume 1 by Clay Frisbie (Boston Mountain Press).
The surrounding area contains over 100 named climbing routes of various difficulty, and is serviced by a paved Forest Service Road from the town of Mount Judea.[3]
